THE railroad bonds are to run forty
years, the interest alone being all that
we would have to pay in the mean
time. The road is to be taxed as any
other property in the county, and this
would help to reduce the amount that
Henderson would have to pay, say be-
tween $500 and 5000 annually. Then
as soon as dividends should be declared
by the road Eve are to get stock at
par value in exchange for our bonds,
and be partners in the corporation to
the amount of $40, ooo), this would re-
duce our taxes still more. Can we
afford to let the road go elsewhere,
when such liberal terms are held out
to us? We think not.

ABOUT THE DURHAM AND
HENDERSON RAILROAD.

The Durham railroad is going to be
built-to some point on the Raleigh
& CASTOR road, probably to Franklin
ton. That we are positively assured
by Maj. Winder. Now the question
is, shall it come to Henderson or not !?
That is left for our people to say ; and
the conditions offered us are SO liberal
and the terms So easy it does seem to
US there should be no question about
it. The subscription ought unhesita-
tingly to be voted and the road
brought HERE by all means. Hender-
son cannot afford to sit still and see
herself bound hand and foot with the
strong cord of competition by rival
towns. We have the advantage, and
let us keep it.
We do not blame Oxford for not
wanting the road to be built from
Durham to Henderson it wants to
continue it's own line, from GAINESVILLE,
to Durham. That IS perfectly nat
ural, and shows the good business sense
of her people, but is that any reason
why we should stand back with our
hands in our pockets and fail to pro-
teCt our own interests? Certainly not.
Self preservation is the first law Of
nature and in this day and generation
every man must take care of himself
towns and corporations as well as
individuals. Nor do we blame Frank
linton for wanting the road to go there;
she knows it will be the salvation of
the town, and that with this road she
would in a few years develop into an
important tobacco market and be a
strong rival and competitor for the
trade that now comes to Henderson.
In this Franklinton displays foresight
and wisdom. She is right in wanting
the road, but we must protect our own
interests and see that it does not go
there-not that we love our sister towns
less, but Henderson more.
Remember this, tie ,oad is going IT,
be bull somcWhc,e, and let us see to it
that it COMES TO HENDERSON. Don't
let us be deluded into the idea that it
is coming here anyhow, whether we
help to build it or not. That is a
mistake it will cost double as much
as the $40, 900 asked Of us to build
the road to Henderson as it would to
carry it to some other point on the
Raleigh & CASTOR road. Does it not
stand to reason then that we will not
get the road unless we show some dis
position to have it2 The Raleigh &
Castor people would have the same
claim upon Henderson's patronage
with the Durham road running to
Franklinton, that they would if this
was the terminus. Then what are
they going to spend $4,000 or S1oo,
900 unnecessarily for? Simply as
matter of accommodation to us, that
we may have the road, when we say
by our acts we do not want it2 Not
much railroad corporations do not
do business that way. If we desire
the road we must say so, and that by
our works, rather than words, next
Monday.

The Charlotte DAILY Chronicle oil
last Sunday publishes what it calls a
Kaleidoscope view of the busiest City
IN North Carolina, being a very inter
esting review of the trade and manu-
features of Charlotte, and says that all
lines of business and industries are
flourlShing. The exhibit must prove
very gratifying not only to the citizens
OF the " Hornets Nest City" but to
every North Carolinian. The Chyor-
ff|e, one of the most wide awake and
progressive of our State papers, is ever
alive to the interests OF its patrons and
no paper is doing better service for its
town and section.
